Tabby Ruins

The coastline from North Florida to South Carolina is scattered with historic ruins built of tabby, a concrete made of oyster shells. Originally covered with stucco, most of these ruins are now exposed oyster concrete. I hope to visit all these ruins.

Fort Frederica – Frederica is a story of dreams, struggle, victory, and defeat. Established in the fort guarded Georgia’s southern frontier. Places To Travel, Places To Visit, St Simons Island, Park Around, Park Service, Beach Town, Great Memories, Wonderful Places
